How to use Robocopy to set permission without copying any files

The Robocopy utility included in the Windows NT 4.0 Resource Kit and the Windows 2000 Resource Kit can copy security information from one folder or file to anthers.

With /secfix or /sec command-line parameter, you can copy NTFS file system access control lists (ACLs) for existing files that have not been modified. However, to copy security information for a file without copying the data from this file, you must use the /xo parameter, the /xn parameter, and the /xc parameter when you run the Robocopy command with the /secfix or /sec parameter, for example:

robocopy source destination /secfix /xo /xn /xc.
